Review of Azerbaijan’s 14-hour Sheki tour from Baku, with mountain scenery, mosques, lakes, waterfalls, palace, bazaar, costs, and practical tips.

“Awful van ride that’s called a tour. The “guide” could barely put two words in English together, to the point that we’d get out of the van and have no idea what to see or where to go. The organizers were atrocious, starting the tour over an hour after we were told to be at the pick up place. We were first put on a bus and then brought down and moved to another one.

Lots of eating joints a bit expensive though it was fine with a choice of world cuisine .....I would recommend a night stay rather than a day tour to enjoy the place to the fullest.”
